Home farm in Iowa had a LP gas converted GMC pickup- power from 350inch V8 was about the same as comparable 292 6 cylinder engine. Getting refueled away from farm was problem. Uncle drove school bus in Missouri -1/2 the buses were LP/Propane powered, other 1/2 were diesel. Again the concern was finding LP fuel away from schools tanks- away games for sports teams were run in diesel buses. Currently younger brother runs Ford Escort with German diesel - gets 45-50 MPG but hard starting in winter. I logged 48MPG with a old 1981 VW rabbit diesel. Paperwork and glowplugs for winter start was problem. Technology has existed for gasoline alternatives a long time. Wood fired Gasogens were noted in Denmark as less effecient than Damph(steam) plows and trucks of WW1 era.
